In the wake of a severe flood that washed away a critical portion of the Kano-Maiduguri expressway, motorists have been left stranded. The incident, which occurred between Malori and Guskuri Villages in Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State, has raised significant concerns about the safety and accessibility of this vital roadway.

On Thursday, August 8, Bauchi State Governor, His Excellency Bala Mohammed, visited the affected area to assess the situation firsthand. During his visit, Governor Mohammed made a strong appeal to the Federal Government for immediate intervention to repair the damaged section of the road.

“The urgent intervention by the Federal Government is crucial to prevent accidents on this major highway and to alleviate the hardships faced by the people,” Governor Mohammed stated.

He further emphasized that if the Federal Government fails to respond promptly, the Bauchi State Government will take it upon itself to address the issue.
